The branches of the Mitsumata(Oriental Paperbush) tree, which split into three directions, look almost like a geometric pattern drawn by nature. Although Mitsumata flowers are yellow, on slopes they often bloom facing downward, so when viewed from above, they appear as a sea of white. This tenugui faithfully captures that scene. Its floral meanings are “family bonds” and “eternal love.” The fact that the branches of the paperbush always split into three sections evokes the bonds between family members and parents and children, giving rise to the floral meaning “family bonds.” Additionally, the paperbush’s sturdy and long-lasting nature lends it the romantic meaning of “eternal love.” ** "What Is the Sports Tenugui Wide?" Made from the same 50% bamboo rayon material as the standard Sports Tenugui, this version is 9 cm wider. Although the size has increased, we’ve used finer threads and a special weaving technique to ensure the weight and folded dimensions remain virtually unchanged. Sports Tenugui Wide also features an added insect-repellent treatment. It’s highly recommended for keeping bugs at bay during outdoor activities! All the benefits of the original Sports Tenugui remain. With its high absorbency, suppleness, softness, quick-drying properties, and resistance to fraying, you can use it ruggedly and with confidence.
